Don’t you just hate it when someone travels to the same places as you, and their photos are a million times better than yours?
Essaouira is definately one of my favourite places in Morocco. The blue and white medina crammed full of spices and pigments and souks, not to mention the infamous blue fishing boats, are a photographers dream come true. Lomokev is a long standing Flickr Fave of mine, and his recent shots from Essaouira are stunning. The medina is quite small, and having spent a couple of weeks there, I know my way around pretty well. I love trying to pick out exactly where each shot was taken. *sigh* Oh well, seems like an excellent excuse for another trip!
You can find more of Lomokev’s Essaouira photographs here. (fez) has a fantastic Essaouira set too, in fact all of his Morocco sets are well worth checking out.
